I think I need larger sock blockers, these are size 36 and are way too small...
and then this pair from Knitting Vintage Socks book, Gentleman's socks with lozenge pattern. I took out 2 pattern repeats to make the man's sock fit me. The yarn is Lang yarns Jawoll, that is quite wooly, some may say a bit itchy, but each ball contains a little spool of matching reinforcement nylon thread for the heels and toes. How neat! So I am expecting these to last forever :)
Plus, I happen to have quite a few colours of this yarn, so I'll have to make more socks with it.
The internet conection is getting a bit weird, so I guess I'll divide everything into 2 posts.

I have seen and touched them! They are so soft and beautiful. It must be like walking in heaven when you wear them!! :)

They are both perfect! I've never found a good man/sock/blocker. I normally just stretch them to the right size and pin them to the blocking board.
Thanks again for the birthday skein and lovely fiber club yarns!
Frankly I don't actually block socks :) But sock blockers are useful for picture taking. It has proven difficult to take a decent picture of one's own feet.
